Granting land... is impossible!
Zhu Yunye looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, with cold eyes in his eyes. The purpose of coming to see Lu and his son was to find out who was behind them, not to really ask Zhu Yunwen to join the feudal clan.
"Get up." Zhu Yunye lost his smile and his tone was cold.
The mother and son who were lying on the ground looked at each other one after another, with nervousness in each other's eyes.
The reason why they dare to make such a request is because they want to take a gamble. But gambling is risky. If the emperor is angered, today next year may be the anniversary of their death.
Fortunately for Lu, she is not young anyway, and even if she continues to live, she may not have a few more years left.
And Zhu Yunwen was in his prime. Even though he had been making little moves from the beginning, when it came time to see the end, his body under his robe actually started to tremble.
He is scared!
But the current situation didn't give him any time to be afraid.
Lu stood up, and Zhu Yunwen had to follow.
Lu Shi smiled flatteringly and said first, "Is this your permission, Your Majesty?"
"Who said I was right?" Zhu Yunye looked at Mrs. Lu with cold eyes.
Lu was so frightened by this sudden look that she couldn't even speak for a moment.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen had regained his composure at this time. He raised his hands and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I don't want anything. If you don't want the palace, personal guards, or even the king's title, you can let the emperor take it back. I just want my mother and concubine to live in peace." Year, please give me your permission!"
After saying that, he knelt down in front of Zhu Yunye and looked at him with satisfaction and sincerity.
Mrs. Lu was caught off guard by her son's sudden move, which was completely different from what they had planned.
If you don't want anything, even throw away the royal title, wouldn't that mean you will be demoted to a commoner?
Although Mrs. Lu has never lived the life of a common people, she has seen it with her own eyes. She couldn't survive a single day of that miserable life.
No, absolutely not!
"No!" Lu shouted loudly.
Pointing at Zhu Yunwen, he angrily scolded him for not living up to expectations: "You are the eldest son of the late emperor and a rich man. You deserve all this. How can you not want anything?"
When Zhu Yunye heard that his half-brother would rather give up the title of king and leave the palace, he felt a feeling of admiration for him in his heart.
Even the determination he had already made in his heart was slightly loosened at that moment. If it hadn't been for Lu's words, maybe Zhu Yunye would have softened his heart and agreed to let him leave the palace. ..
But Lu's words reminded Zhu Yunye, causing him to wake up instantly.
Since the Lu family said that Zhu Yunwen deserved the title of king, did they think that Zhu Yunwen also deserved the throne? Although Zhu Yunwen was not the legitimate son, after all, he occupied the status of the eldest son.
When Zhu Yunwen heard what his mother-in-law said, he felt bad. But at this time, he didn't have the courage to look at his mother and concubine distractedly, because he knew that as long as he showed the slightest abnormality, Zhu Yunye would definitely find out.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunye's eyes never left Zhu Yunwen's eyes. After a while, when he saw that Zhu Yunwen was unmoved, he withdrew his gaze.
But Zhu Yunye no longer had any soft-hearted thoughts. He slowly leaned his back on the chair, looked at the two of them and said calmly: "When my father passed away, he took my hand and asked me to promise to give you the title of king. "
Having said this, Zhu Yunye looked at Zhu Yunwen, "Your prince was not given by me, but by your father..."
As he spoke, he was observing Zhu Yunwen's reaction.
When Zhu Yunwen heard his father being mentioned, he immediately lost control of his emotions, covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
"Father..."
Zhu Yunye looked at Zhu Yunqi who was crying. After a pause, he continued: "So, I will not take back your kingship."
Perhaps because he believed in Zhu Yunwen, perhaps because of his father's affection, in the end
Zhu Yunye did not take back Zhu Yunwen's royal title.
"Your Majesty, do you agree to grant me the title of vassal?" Lu was overjoyed when she heard this and asked without thinking.
Hearing that his mother-in-law said something wrong for the second time, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but glance at her secretly, even though he was crying. His heart felt cold.
Zhu Yunye shook his head and refused without hesitation, and said with an implicit smile: "As for the vassal issue... I will seriously consider it. But which place is suitable still needs to be discussed with the courtiers. This matter should be discussed first. Let it go."
Let it go first...does this mean you don't agree?
Zhu Yunwen was naturally disappointed. He didn't know if he would have such an opportunity if he missed it this time.
Mrs. Lu finally understood what Zhu Yunye said. She stood there blankly, looking back and forth at Zhu Yunye, not knowing what to say.
"Yes, everything is subject to the emperor's orders." Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to pretend to be happy and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Zhu Yunye smiled and nodded slightly.
Then he clapped his hands on his legs together, stood up and sighed: "Okay, I passed by here today to see you. Since you are living well here, I am relieved."
With that said, he ignored the two of them and walked out.
Of course, the two of them did not dare to say anything and could only bow to Zhu Yunye's back.
"Your Majesty."
By the time the two people straightened up, Zhu Yunye had already left the palace.
Zhu Yunwen watched as the heavy palace door closed again, and the huge vibration dropped dust. His legs gave way and he sat down on the ground, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. His chest was rising and falling violently, and he was breathing heavily.
She didn't have any extra energy to pay attention to Lu at the side, so she muttered in a low voice: "It's over...it's all over..."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she glanced towards the palace gate, squatted down and asked, "It should...it shouldn't be the case, right?"
When Zhu Yunwen heard about the reputation, he turned to his mother-in-law with a sad smile on his face and asked: "Why not? Does the mother-in-law think we still have a chance? Today is the best chance and the last chance, but..."
Having said this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes gradually became fierce as he looked at Lu, with a ferocious look on his face.
He suddenly grabbed Lu's shoulders with both hands and shook him fiercely: "It's all because of your words that made him alert. It's all you!"
Ms. Lu only felt severe pain in her shoulder. Fortunately, she was calmer at this time and hugged Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to struggle, but was hugged tightly by Lu.
Madam Lu leaned close to his ear and said through gritted teeth, "What are you crazy about? His eyes and ears are all in this palace. Do you want us, mother and son, to die without a burial place?"
After hearing these words, Zhu Yunwen suddenly relaxed and stopped struggling.
Slowly, Ms. Lu let him go. Seeing that he had recovered, she whispered, "Go back to the house to talk."
